Ground surface air pressure versus distance from high yield detonations. Report for March-May 1954
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6032132
Operation CASTLE presented an opportunity to obtain air pressure data in high and low pressure regions from surface bursts of high-yield weapons. Air-pressure measurements using self contained, flash-initiated gages were successful. Overpressure data were obtained up to pressure levels of 250 psi. Dynamic pressure measurements using newly developed self-recording ''q'' gages were successful. Measurements were obtained over a dynamic pressure range of 0.47 to 135 psi.
